Living in the Love of God

Well praise the Lord everybody and may the blessing of the Lord be upon you.
For the next few days I would like to share some thoughts from 1 John 5:16-18. Lets look at verse 16"And we have known and believed the love God hath to us.God is love, and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God,and God in him. As I was reading this verse the thought started filling my soul. What does it mean to dwell in God. I looked up the word dwell in Websters dictionary and these are the definitions it gave for the word dwell.
1.To live in a place 2.To reside 3.To hang on with fondness. 4.To continue.
Lets think about the one that says:To live in a place. The first thing that came to my mind was the the first verse of Psa91" He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. Think about it you and I dwell in a place with God through His love for us that the enemy can not penetrate.Listen to this first verse of Psa91 from the amplified translation"He Who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall remain stable and fixed under the shadow of the Almighty{Whose power no foe can withstand]. When you and I chooose to follow after the love of God and purpose in our hearts to live in that love we are in a place that satan can't penetrate due to the redemptive work of Jesus our Lord. You and I have been given the greatest opportunity to live in the presence of God.We can truly let the world that is filled with fear and terror see the peace that floods ones soul when he knows in whom he belongs.God is Love. He loves you and I to the point that he sent his only Son to the earth to show us the way to live and walk in that love everyday.Jesus walked this earth in the power and the love of God and you and I have that same ability if we want to surrender unto the Lord. In the first chapter of the gospel of John in verse 12 it says"But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that beleive on his name: Do you see yourself as a son of the Most High living in the Fathers love and forgiveness. When you dwell in something you become attached to it you put down roots. You and I are supposed to become attached to God our Father and become rooted and grounded in His love. Walk in the love of God live for him.Make your life a precious symbol of Gods grace to you. God bless you and have healthy life in Jesus. From Pastor Ken.
